I just purchased a new Macbook. My problem is that I have been using Windows (XP) all the time before and have 600 songs in iTunes. How do I convert these songs so that they can be used on a MAC?
I've a ipod shuffle 2gb and just wondering if converting songs to AAC could help me pour in more songs in this tiny things..
Most of my songs are either 192 or 256 kbps MP3 format with some even at 320kbps..While syncing we get an option to convert selection to 128kbps AAC.I never tried that option because I was scared as this might effect my original file.Does it convert the actual file and then syncs it to ur ipod or does it retains the original file and sends converted file directly to ipod without effecting my original file...
I regularly receive songs in WAV format. In the past, I have always converted them to AIFF to overcome tagging limitations with WAV. Up until recently, I converted songs from WAV to AIFF by right-clicking them in iTunes, then choosing "make AIFF file" (that's not the exact wording, but similar). Just tried to do so today and found that this option is now missing! Was this removed in the latest version of iTunes [I'm running 9.1.1 (12)]? Could it perhaps be restored by some command-line entry in Terminal?
I've got an iPhone & iPad who's filling up quickly mainly due to my audio tracks. They range from 128kbps all the way to ALAC. Currently the audio is consuming 36.9GB but when I select "Convert Higher Bit Rate Songs" to 256kbps, I'm hoping that anything higher (e.g. my 320kbps and ALAC) get converted down and thereby overall consuming less space.
When I select this option, the Audio jumps up to 45.1GB instead. What's going on? Is it upsampling my other 128/160/192kbps tracks up to 256kbps? This option currently seems counterintuitive to me.
Over the years I have bought songs under different account IDs. They all show up and play when I am in iTunes or iPhone, but only newer ones will play over my Apple TV.
All my music has covers in iTunes Library. But after i updated to iOS 5.1 they are missing on my devices.
It happens every time i check "convert higher bit rate songs to 192/256 kbps" on iTunes 10.6 (40) on my Mac.
On the screenshot (iPad 2010 running iOS 5.1) Bon Iver's album copied by default settings, and Coldplay's album converted to 192 kbps.BTW on my old iPhone 3G (iOS 4.2.1) all covers are OK even when convert feature is ON.
I am trying to copy some songs from my playlist to a CD but it changes the order of the songs during the conversion. I want the songs in alphabetical by name but iTunes arranges them alphabetically by artist.
So over the past few months I have noticed this small bug/glitch in iTunes... and it is very annoying.
I cannot drag songs from playlists into different order. iTunes just doesn't let me drag at all.
I have to quit iTunes, then restart it. It will work for one time, but as soon as I got back to "Library" and then try to go back and edit a playlist, I have to exit iTunes.
I wonder if anybody knows how to convert flash files (swf/fla) to one of the standard files for video as in .avi, .mpeg or even .mov. I have exported via Flash 8, but the problem is: It doesn't keep the vectors function. so I have only a video with all flat images and no movement at all. It's just the program creating a bunch of jpeg and joining them all to create a movie effect.
I have a book that is separated into 1000 different swf files and i was wondering if there is any software that is able to batch convert them to pdf? Doing each one manually takes too long.
Yeah, so I've been having some issues trying to convert .wmv files into files that I can place into idvd/imovie/etc (such as .mov or .avi) but I can't find any programs that accomplish this task. Bit of background, I'm a college student so obviously, money is tight - So I was curious as to if there is a freeware program (or even a shareware one) that will accomplish this task.
find a freeware program to convert a non-copyright WMA file into an MP3 I can import into my Mac's iTunes?
I looked on versiontracker and found 2 but one turned out to be a dumb demo that would only allow 12 seconds of conversion, and the other one looked like it was meant for something else
there is an easy way to batch convert a folder containing lots of Microsoft Word (.DOC) files to PDF format? I know I could do this one-by-one in Word itself - but it would be very time consuming. I was hoping that there would be some part of the OS X system that could do this.
I've been searching and searching and all I can find is converters for PC, none compatible with MAC.
I've been recording my lectures with my phone and they play in quicktime but i have a couple others in my iTunes and i'd like to have them all together.
I have converted two .avi files on my MBP to the .iso file. Then I open up the two files and they become the Audio_TS and Video_TS folders. However, when I try and drag those to Toast, and try to burn the files, Toast always gives me an error. My question, how do correctly convert .avi files to dvd format so I can burn to a blank DVD? I want more than one .avi file converted to dvd format on each DVD.
I recently received a dvd from a meeting with lectures that are in flv format. I would like to convert them for use in iTunes so that they are accessible on the iPhone. A few issues:
The DVD is built in multiple folders. For example Content / lecture 1204 / video / xxxxxx.flv Content / lecture 5302 / video / xxxxxx.flv
So the first (and biggest) hurdle is whether I can easily 'grab' all of the flv files (buried in their respective folders) to one directory on my macbook. I then need some advice on converting the flv tracks to mp4 ones. I may opt to go the Quicktime Pro route unless handbrake is capable of this as well.
I am an audio transcriptionist. I am new to mac. For my transcription I use a program called ExpressScribe [URL]. It works great on mac. I need this program because it allows me to use my foot pedal. Using a foot pedal increases my speed. Increased speed means increased salary. Here's the problem: I have a rush file due tomorrow. It came to me in an .wmv format. I cannot ask for it to be converted. This file automatically downloads into quicktime. I have to convert this file to an mp3 so I can open it with my ExpressScribe. I tried using "switch" (offered by the same company that brought me ExpressScribe), however because the file downloads automatically into quicktime I don't know what to do. I need to find a way to save this to my desktop as an mp3 or open it in itunes.
Just got my Macbook Pro a few weeks ago.... so I am new to this world. I was wondering if there is a free program or an easy way to convert Flac files to MP3's for my iPod or iPhone?
All my Google searches give results on how to convert a WAV file to MP3 in iTunes...but iTunes 9 is different and the steps are not applicable. Anyone know how to do this?
I bought a new external hard drive, and followed the following instructions to convert from PC to Mac (Disk Utility- Erase- Mac OS Journaled). However, during the conversion process the following message appears and stops the process: "Disk Erase failed with the Error: File System formatter failed."
Is there another way to convert? Why is this message appearing and how do I get around it?
I have an imac OS 9.2.2 and would like to transform it into an OS X.Is there any possibility to get a free mac OS X download that I can get through the Internet ?
